My fondness for Dove Beauty Bar goes back to living at home many years ago and mum always having it on hand, so using it always brings back a certain nostalgia.
I tend to always have one of these lurking about in the bathroom, whether for use in the shower in lieu of body wash, as a basic cleanser for my face, or at the hand basin as an alternative to the hand wash.
I love how the light fragrance of the beauty bar, which is pleasant but not overpowering. Dove lathers easy, and I find that it gives a good clean without leaving the skin too 'tight' feeling like normal soap does. I tend to prefer more specialised cleansers for my face as I have acne-prone skin, but I like that Dove is gentle enough that it doesn't cause me to break out if I do end up cleansing with it. I also find that it's pretty good at clearing up body spots as well when they rear their unwanted heads.
If you're after soap that's gentle, not overly-scented and available at your local supermarket, I would recommend Dove and will continue to repurchase myself.
Dove beauty bar is probably the best soap around. I am not normally a big fan of Dove, I have had problems in the past with their moisturizing products - I don't find them very "moisturizing." But this is the one saving grace for Dove for me.
I find that the bar lathers up really well, it feels nourishing and not harsh leaving your skin dry like some soaps can feel. I even use it as a sneaky quick face wash when I'm feeling lazy in the shower and it definitely doesn't feel bad afterwards. Plus as far as soap goes it smells nice and creamy and not intensely floral and fruity like a lot of soaps can be. I don't have any skin irritations but this is one of the best feeling soaps, during and after use, I have ever used short of going to Lush.
Tips: Have a hunt around. I know the warehouse often has sales where it is $1 a bar.
